They play the game to win
Eric Swalwell was the frontrunner for California governor on Thursday. By Friday night, his campaign chair had resigned, his fundraising page was dead, Adam Schiff was pretending they'd never met, and Nancy Pelosi was speaking about him in the past tense. The man went from "party standard-bearer" to "we don't know who this guy is" faster than a Snapchat message disappearing from his phone.
The official story is that multiple women came forward with serious allegations and the party responded swiftly. Which, sure, okay. Except "swiftly" undersells it. Because the demon-rat party's reaction looked like detonating a controlled demolition they'd already wired. Every endorsement pulled in the same news cycle. Every statement using the same language. Every union, every ally, every surrogate, all reading from the same script that apparently materialized from thin air on a Friday afternoon.
You know what's funny? When Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of the same thing, the entire Democratic apparatus spent months explaining why believing women is more nuanced than it sounds. Biden stayed in. Won the nomination. Won the presidency. Why? Because Biden was an useful idiot.
Swalwell was not useful. Swalwell was a problem. Eight Democrats splitting the vote in California's top-two primary means two Republicans could lock Democrats out of the general. Steve Hilton is polling at 22%. The math was bad. Swalwel was told to leave. He said no. And then, by extraordinary coincidence, every institutional support system in his political life collapsed simultaneously.
Yup. Totally coincidental.
They did this to Bernie in 2016. They did it to Crockett in Texas, so I don't buy the 'Swalwell is a white dude' argument either.
Since the blue party does not have voters, it must rely on a plan. And if you happen to be standing where the plan needs to go, they will move you.
The allegations might be true. They might not be. It doesn't matter! The point is the party didn't wait to find out because the point was never the allegations.
The point was power...

Viktor Orban didn’t cancel any elections and never arrested people for social media posts. He also stepped down after his election loss and is partaking in a peaceful transfer of power. But, don’t forget, he was a dictator.
Keir Starmer attempted to cancel about 1,000 local council elections next month and arrests about 12,000 people a year for social media posts. He also refused to let a rival run for a seat in a by-election because he was worried it would be a threat to his leadership.
But, don’t forget, he’s a democratic leader.
To recap:
1. The EU Council blocked $40 billion to Hungary because it wouldn't give NGOs control over its courts.
2. The EU Court blocked Hungary from passing a FARA law to see whether NGOs there were funded by the EU.
3. The EU Council announced it would centralize voting power on EU accession to block Hungary from having a vote in the future if Orban won the election.
4. The EU flooded Hungary with political NGOs to back Magyar's campaign to oust Orban from power so Hungary would bend to the EU on Ukraine accession, mass immigration, MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+, etc.
5. Magyar wins, the EU immediately imposes a 27-point conditions list for Hungary to unblock the funds, including on Ukraine accession, mass immigration, MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+, etc.
6. The EU Commissioner comes out and says she's actually going to centralize voting power to cut out EU members like Hungary anyway.
“May the most affordable grocery store win” he says, after we learn that his store will not pay rent or property taxes. Well what sort of prices could a corporate store offer with two of their biggest cost inputs slashed to $0?
I look forward to observing how this train wreck progresses. My hunch is that it will become A) shoplifted ruthlessly, B) staffed by socialists who will go on strike annually for above market pay and “better working conditions”, and C) still lose money despite not paying rent or property taxes.
Don’t stop talking about this
California Democrat Mia Bonta introduced California Assembly Bill 2624, The Stop Nick Shirley Act
Not only will it criminalize investigative journalism, IT CREATES SERVICES FOR IMMIGRANTS COMMITTING THE CRIMES
The bill will create a new address confidentiality program for employees, volunteers, and providers working with immigration support services. Organizations helping immigrants, including daycare, learning centers, hospice, or other taxpayer-funded social services
Holy crap….
The bill prohibits posting or sharing on the internet the photo, personal information, or home address of these individuals with the intent to incite harassment, threats, or violence
Violations allow lawsuits for damages, injunctions to remove content and criminal penalties-
Punishments include misdemeanor, fines up to $10,000, possible jail time, and court orders to delete content-
It allow affected individuals or organizations to demand takedown of videos or posts that include their images/personal details, even if the recording happened in or around a public or semi-public facility
The bill advanced out of the Assembly Judiciary Committee
Does anyone believe anything will happen to them other than cost them a lot of money in legal fees?
I believe Eisenhower stopped all immigration for several years when president to allow for assimilation.
I wonder if the delay in allowing oil shipments to get to the EU is an effort to force a collapse and replacement of leadership in Brussels?
Swalwell Drops Out, Dem Machine Discipline, Iran Strikes & Justice System Breakdown | VDH
If you take anything away from Rep. Eric Swalwell’s resignation, it should be the following:Whether a democratic politician actually abused, sexually harassed, sexually assaulted someone is not of importance to the Democratic hierarchy. What's important is the status of that person's political viability, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler discuss Rep. Eric Swalwell dropping out of California’s governor race amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations, arguing Democrat leaders act based on political viability and comparing reactions to Tara Reade’s allegation against Joe Biden versus E. Jean Carroll’s case against Donald Trump.
They analyze Trump’s criticism of Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones over opposition to strikes on Iran, with Hanson describing the campaign as a deterrent air effort aimed at the regime rather than Iran’s people.
The episode also covers reports about U.S. clearing the Strait of Hormuz, prospects for ending the Russia-Ukraine war, concerns over European allies’ dependence on U.S. defense, the Byron Noem controversy as a national-security vetting failure, and anger over criminal justice outcomes including an early release in Indiana and a New York case involving a police officer convicted of manslaughter.
I would sure hope he’s not, but you are sounding a little whinny this morning. Sac up, we are in a fight for this country. Don’t let a stupid meme get you that upset. He addressed, that’s the end of it, IMHO.
